GHW PRICE I00 As briefly outlined Friday, the young woman will tell of her involvement as a driver in two murderous forays from the Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth. Bugliosi said she will testify that: ---On Manson's orders she accompanied Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Charles Watson, a male member of the "family" who still is fighting ex-t radii ion from Texas, to the Tate home at Ciclo Drive late in the evening of Aug. without i told what was planned. Although she did not enter the Benedict Canyon home or commit any murders, she saw Watson shoot Parent in a car in the driveway and watched Watson and Patricia Krenwinkel kill Miss Folger and Krykowski on the lawn. She did not actually see the murders of the beauteous, honey blonde Miss Tate or Sebring, both of whom died inside the house, but did see Susan Atkins come out and say she had lost her knife inside.

On Watson's instructions, she threw the killers' knives and blood-splatlercd clothing over the side of a hill in Benedict Canyon. Would Show Them --When the group re-1 to the Spahn Ranch and Watson had reported hat happened, Manson told them they had been "too messy" and he was going to show them how to do it. On the next evening, Manson, Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Leslie Van I louten and a family member named Steve Grogan, 1M, drove at random around Los Angeles County on a mission of murder. -U 1 timatcly, Manson directed her to drive to T.267 Waverly Drive in the Los Feliz district a home he had visited a year before and then walked next door to the home of wealthy grocer Leno La Bianca, 41, and his ear-old wife, Rosemary. When a returned, he reported the.

hands of the victims had been tied and instructed Watson, Miss Van Houten and Miss Krenwinkel how to murder the couple without causing "panic and fear." Later that same night Manson ordered the murder of a man who Mrs. Ka-sabian knew lived in a i apartment but she deliberately went to ihe wrong door to thwart it. Called Willing Bugliosi said the "overkill" tactics of Manson's followers showed that they were willing participants in the killings. He said Frykowski had been stabbed 'A times, shot four times and struck on the head 13 times. How the others died was reported before the trial began.

Miss Tate, months pregnant, was stabbed 16 1 I police after his arrest on charges of murder. Subsequently, he was released. lie testified that he did not hear shots, screams or yelling in the early-morning hours when five persons were killed on the Tate estate. Garretson said he wrote letters, listened to hi-fi and finally went to sleep at dawn after trying to check for the time and found the phone out of order. When he was awakened by a dog barking, he said he looked up to see a policeman pointing a rifle at him from a patio of the caretakers' house where he lived.

Then, another police officer kicked in the front door and wras bitten on the leg by Christopher, one of three dogs that he took care of for the owner of the estate. The crowded courtroom burst into laughter, the only time of the day that humor relieved an unfold-ing story of seven grotesque murders. A- f' C95) Continued from First Pase murders were perhaps trip most bizarre, savage nightmarish murders in the re-rorded annate of crimp," he satf. "I am of course excluding wartime atroci-' ties." Bugliosi' asked: "What kind of a diaboli-ral. Fatanic mind would contemplate or conceive of these mass murders? What kind of mind would want, to have seven human Iteinss brutally in "We expect the evidence at, tliis trial to show that defendant Charles Manson.

owned that diabolical mind. Charles Manson, who, the evidence will show, at times has had the infinite humility, if you will, to call himself Jesus Christ." The prosecuter described Manson as a frustrated singer-guitarist, a vagrant wanderer, a pscu-do philosopher and a megalomaniac who coupled 1 sions of greatness with a thirst for power and an intense obsession for. violent death. But. most of -all," PurM-osi said, "the evidence will show him 1o be a killer who cleverly masqueraded behind the common image of a hippie that of being peace-loving." He said Manson was a follower of the Beatles and thought the English singing group was speaking to him from across the sea through their lyrics.

When the Beatles sang a song called "llelter SkeU ter." Bugliosi said, Manson told his followers they were forecasting the rise of the black man against the whites, an event he predicted was at hand. But, the prosecutor said, when a "blood bath" failed to develop the clan leader said, "I'm going to have to show biackie how to do it." plan, according to Bugliosi, was to blame the seven killings on black people, whom he hated along with "pigs" of the white establishment, then flee with his "family" to Death Valley, where they would live in the Biblical "bottomless pit." of Revelations IX until the blacks won. Speaks of Fowpr Manson thought 1 he veins of power would then fall to him and his followers when blacks discovered they were too inexperienced to lead, the attorney said. "In Manson's mind," Bugliosi said, "his family and particularly he would be the ultimate beneficiaries of the black-white civil war." Bugliosi admitted that the motive was "bizarre as the murders themselves," but he told the jury of seven men and five women evidence to support it. would be presented to help the understand why seven persons died.

Also, he said, several witnesses would be called to testify about Manson's "strange" and "bizarre" philosophies because perhaps the jurors would not believe so incredible a story from only one witness. However, Bugliosi said, the. principal witness of "who" committed the murders will be Mrs. Kasa-bian, who is also charged with seven counts of murder but who has been promised immunity. "War" and had been carved into his flesh and a carving fork and knife had been left sticking in his body.

"Pig" was smeared in blood on the front door of the Tate house. "Death to Pigs," "Pvise" and "llelter Skelter" were written in blood at the La Bianca house. Bugliosi said physical evidence to be presented by the prosecution will include a Long-horn revolver, the clothing worn by the killers and a car belonging to a Spahn Ranch ranchhand used on the two evenings. Each of the young women defendants will be linked to the murders by Mrs. Kasabian's testimony, Bugliosi said, but the prosecution plans to present additional evidence in each case.

Conversations Claimed Testimony will that Miss Atkins told Virginia Ronnie Howard and Roseanne Walker fellow inmates in Sybil Brand Institute for Women about her involvement the Tate-La Bianca murders, he said. In Miss Krenwinkel 's case, Bugliosi said, the people will offer evidence proving her fingerprints were found on the inside of a door in the master bedroom at the Tate residence. As for Miss Van Houten, the prosecutor said there is evidence that the slender, dark -haired young woman told a girl named Diane Lake of her involvement in the La Bianca murders. During a recess after Bugliosi's statement, defense attorney Paul Fitzgerald said the prosecution had gone beyond the bounds of a proper opening statement. He said the outline of Ihe case had "degenerated" into a "defamatory, slanderous, name calling attack," and added: "It was emotional in tone and character and totally inappropriate." A statement signed by Charles Manson was distributed in the hallway by a reporter for the Free Press, an underground weekly publication.

In it, Manson was quoted as saying he had made the on his forehead as a COURT ESCORT William Garretson, caretaker at Sharon Tate home ot time of the murders, is escorted down a Hall of Justice corridor by a deputy.

The Polanskis' cook and housekeeper, Mrs. Chapman, completed her testimony in the afternoon session, stating firmly under defense cross-examination that two days before the Aug. 0 murders she had washed the doors on which Watson's and Miss Krenwinkel's fingerprints later were found. The slight, uj-ycar-old maid testified while clutching her bandaged left arm injured in an automobile accident. She winced with pain and ap-p a exasperated by some of the questions.
